Not to get political, so I’ll just briefly mention it: I read about the internet shutdowns in Iran… and I’ve heard about similar things in India, during times of civil unrest…
anyways, this post isn’t about politics, but the aftermath of such internet shutdown… like personally, how would people deal with it… like entertainment-wise…
Like… if the government of the country I’m living in right now, if they did this internet shutdown… I’d think I’d suffer from withdrawl and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to function…
Like… I got so used to be able to just look up any movie, tv show, anime, book, youtube video, google any information I wanted… I never prepped for an internet shutdown…
I feel like a drug addict lol… if they shut down the internet… I’m gonna have severe withdrawl symptoms…
Can most people even cope with it?
The library is a good option where I am. No shortage of manga there. I think I’d be fine, but I grew up before using the internet for every form of entertainment. I still have a cd book.
Anyway I think it’s not bad to learn different ways to enjoy life. Read books, search for and buy music and movies/tv in different formats, board games, hobbies including the arts, leaving the house for a while…I do recommend it.
